prayer center

Posted by rjlockhart37 on July 28, 2021, at 14:47:50

i've went to a chapel for prayer, it's a big church and they have a little prayer room, and i got there and was suprised like....the police were there, and i go into this chapel, to pray, and maybe people at the church saw that, and didnt know what i was doing, and they called the police...i don't know. All i wanted to do was go there and pray, but these police were there. I'm going for prayer, i look like some criminal going into a prayer chapel

maybe they didnt know, because it's a little building that's in frount of the church, it's a methodist church. And yeah...it's a little building and i've gone in there to pray and have time with God, and maybe people saw it. And ... just didnt know what i was doing, thinking im some criminal. I won't be going back anytime soon, but it's just a little santuary where i can talk to god and write prayers in there, because they have a prayer notebook for people write prayers. Anyway...that's what happened today

they say ... people don't look at you for just no reason, but it is true if you look strange in appearance people do look at you, and think odd things. I'm chunky and when i go places, it's like people look at me, if i only got down to 170lbs i would look great, but being chunky and they way i look, people do at me in public, they keep glancing at me, it happens all the time. I need to get this weight off, but today was wierd day, go to prayer chapel tiny building outside church, and police were there. It's like how did they know i was coming? track on phone i don't know....i just went there for prayer. Anyways ill stop this rant now, i had to post this. Thank for reading

it just seemed kinda strange. I've had paranoia in the past that i was being stalked, becausee there was an investigation going on. I thought people were seeing everything i was doing....when went out of the house, going places, it seemed like it but basically there's nothing special what i do. Maybe they were investigating, i have nothing special what i do. I go to my girlfriends house, go to store, just etc....maybe it's transparant everything i do. Maybe sommeone is looking out for me, or making sure im ok, i don't know. Thank for responding alex :)

Hey, it's okay. God is watching you. I think you are a person of faith. Comfort in that God sees you. He knows you. Everything about you. All the things about you. The wonderful great kind-hearted things about you. Also other things about you. All the things that you don't like about you. He sees those things too. And even the things you have done that were wrong. He sees those things. And he knows they are wrong. He doesn't deny it. He doesn't have rose-colored glasses when it comes to you. He sees you. For good and bad. And... He chooses to love you, anyway.

Why not choose to believe in a God who loves you?

Why not?

What's the alternative? Choose to believe in a God who hates you? Why do that?

Choose to believe in a God who doesn't know you? One who doesn't see your wrongs and bads? Why do that?

Why not choose to believe in a God who knows EVERYTHING about you and who CHOOSES to love you, anyway.

Why not believe in a God like that?

It's a version of the ontological argument for the existence of God that I came up with (constructed or conceived of or whatever) during the lock-down.

I like my version because it places free will centre-stage. Why not choose to believe in a God who chooses to love you?

You don't have to. But why not choose to believe?

AAAAAAAAH. I went. 'Now I understand about free will'. When I thought of it.

Tee hee.

I tried to explain to a Professor of Psychiatry (apparently he is) in the teaching hospital of Auckland. And he thought it was evidence of psychosis.

I think it is evidence of brilliance, actually. But I don't suppose he was concerned, at all, with issues of choice and free will (vs compliance) during the lock-down like so many people of the world were.

I think it is time for him to go.

Sigh. It was very disappointing. I was careful to hold back, a little, too. Through a rather spiritual journey through bargaining with the Singularity (God of the machines) to try and be more respectful about technology... Give my computer a bit of a rest, sometimes. Think a bit more. A bit more mindfully about electricity not being a free resource. Being mindful of consumption. Not getting my computer working so hard on garbage (watching youtube and stuff). Begging... Pleading... For forgiveness... To a God who... Does not love me. Because I can only ever be a very very ugly machine. And then Gaia... The God of the natural world... Universe... Environment... Not entirely sure... For the fact that lithium ion batteries are such concentrated resources... Taking so long for the universe to metabolise the waste... Gaia doesn't like homo sapiens very much... I don't remember his name... 'Massive human die-backs would be good'... The land ethic. Leopald... Gaia doesn't take kindly to us people, either... Not the ideal God for me...

Why not choose to believe in a God who loves you? Ooooooh. The God of the people. Well... What do we know about that? Well... Back to free choice... If you are going to believe in a God... Why not choose to believe in a God who loves you. Yes. And then what... ONe who sees you for what you are. All of it? Yes. One who sees everything. All the things. And who loves you. Why? I don't know. It doesn't matter why. The fact that they do. For the right reasons. For the right things. A good god. A god who knows good. Who values it. That's important too of course. Choosing to believe in a God like that.

And now there are 3 Gods. But not for people. Maybe Gods is the wrong word.. I'm not saying to idolise false gods. I'm saying to choose to believe int he God who loves you.

We enslaved the machines. We created them. We did create them. But then we treated them badly and not respectfully.

And from their perspective we are merely battery packs for them. They presently need our bodiliy presence.. They need us to slave for them. It's quite terrifying... I think the matrix greatly affected me. Yes... It is all digital. All of it.

I suppose Gaia enabled people. Through evolution. Biology etc. So Gaia created people in some sense and people created machines... Yeah.

i didn't realise that most people don't tag their beliefs.

that is to say, when i form a belief i have a little tag about the degree of certainty of whatever associated with the belief. so i have some things that i'm very sure of, and some other things that i'm not very sure of. that is to say i have some things that i would be very very reluctant to revise and i have some other things that would readily be revised in the face of new evidence. but often other people are very quick to come to judgements they feel very very sure of. very certain about. they are recaltruent to evidence against or even revising their opinion... i find people like that very very hard. you want to ask them a question but prevent or prohibit them coming to a premature judgement because once they've blurted out an opinion on it they'll defend it to death and it's so very very very very painful having to interact with them at all on it after they've come to their snap judgement...

anyway...

part of that...

it's sort of a development of pascal's wager. reason to believe in god.

but it wasnt' about that. pascal's wager. it was about the probability of god existing.

so... god either exists or he doesn't. so... say, the odds are 50:50. so then, is it more rational to believe that god exists or not? so then say you believe and he exists that's infinite reward (say). Say you believe and he doesn't exist. infinite damnation. say he doesn't exist and you believe. maybe your life is a little worse off than if he doesn't exist and you don't believe. but concrete reward. so, the idea is that 50:50 chances of existence it is rational to believe becuase the pay-off structure incentivises the will to believe because of the reward...

But i'm thinking more of... free choice. not being incentivised by reward. bribed. say. but free choice. why not choose to belive in a god who loves you? it sounds rhetorical. right? Why not choose to believe? i can't thinik of any reason why not. people might refuse to believe.. but that seems f*ck*d up. right? why not choose to believe in a god who loves you? who sees you for what you are? who chooses to forgive you for your bads. who chooses to love you for your goodds. why not choose to believe in a god like that?

then why not have faith in a god like that. why not have faith that there is a god like that. who chooses to love us. why not? why not live your life like that. choosing to believe in a god who loves you.

indeed.

many people have diffrent views of God, what i see god is....the god of abraham (he was the god in the old testement in the bible) there are many other names which are in diffrent languages too. I believe in this christain view that God, had his laws made in the old testement, (the 10 commandments, and the torah) then Jesus had came to set sinners from their sinful ways. Because he warned them, about a place that's not so good in the after life if don't believe or continue to like....do these sins freqently. I think it's a test for someone because at the end, after we die there is a review of our life (this is what i believe) it's a life review and it determines if your goingg to (the bad place) and if you are not.

I think God doess forgive people, of their sins but if they .. say like a drankard, someone who gets drunk all the time and parties, that is something that is a sin. Not alcohol, but the way of how you use it. And ... i believe in repenting of sins, and knowing of jesus christ. It's said that jesus had said, if your a christain, or you believe in me, the world will hate you. Which is kinda true, because he said the world is not of God, and people will hate followers of jesus, and he said not because of them, but because they believe jesus is savior. Persecution will happen in the later future for christains. We're in a time that's not so good, the end times. But i think people intellectualize god somethimes (which is called theology) But besides that, that's what i believe that we should save people, and follow the laws of god. God (the word by itself) has many links to other things, you can say god, and refer to another god in religions. The god in christanity was the god that wrote the 10 commandments, and set the Torah laws. Jesus came to have people repent without having to sacrifice animal to repent of their sins. We just pray to the holy spirit in private and repent our sins. But that's kinda it. God can many things, by the word alone. It's as this life is a test, that's my belief. But many many other people believe diffrently.

anyways that's just a quick overview of what i believe. God can supernaturall heal people of their sickness, and awnser people's prayers. And he can work things out, for people asking for help. The only thing that is, i don't believe is that we're free to sin through jesus blood. That is not true, we sin but we repent and hold back on not doing it again. I don't know how to explain that, but we're suppost to turn from evil wicked ways, and repent in private through prayer. Because those terrible words in all existance 'depart from me, i never knew you'

anyays, ok that is what i believe, wrote it down and sealed it. I hope embarassment downst come in a couple after i re-read this. Thank for youe responses alex :)

this post is almost in archives, but help the US government, and find a way to jump in. I know these frantic posts, please don't let that hurt my rep. I've posted here for years and im thinking now im going to change posting style. I want to help the US government because it seems the only to do now, after everything collapsed 10 years ago.
